having abuse regulations if it would make sense for shelters and the like
to have their own hand-outs on how to treat ferrets, so that way even if
the large group is letting the ball drop, at least SOMEONE is doing some
constructive educating. [...]38_2Apr200012:29:

[log in to unmask], 2 Apr 2000 07:20:40 -0700555_- I am not sure if this debate even belongs on a ferret list, but since it
has been allowed to go so far....
Who ever or what ever created life, had the good sense to create a chain of
life, each step using the next as food. Predator eating prey...prey eating
grass...etc. Each has its own niche in the world and its own unique
survival needs. One cannot decide for any reason, religious, moral or
whatever, to removed an animal, in this case a ferret, from its proper
place and put it in another. To try to make an obligate [...]45_2Apr200007:20:

[log in to unmask], 2 Apr 2000 22:58:01 -0600572_- Okay, I needed to brag that I finally made my first batch of Bob's Chicken
Gravy! I had put it off for so long after reading some horror stories of
bones all over the kitchen, etc. For those of you who have never made it,
I wanted to share: someone said to make friends with your butcher. I went
to Wal Mart and gave the butcher my sweetest smile. No roasters in until
holidays (Easter?), but he ordered an entire case just because I needed one
chicken. When they arrived, three different meat employees whacked away on
the following: one-half [...]39_2Apr200022:58:

[log in to unmask], 2 Apr 2000 11:17:30 -0400556_- There is a book on the market called "Food Pets Die For." By Ann N. Martin
and Foreword by Dr. Michael W. Fox. Many of us feed our ferrets cat food.
There are also many households with ferrets, cats and dogs. It is
informative reading as what goes on in the multi-billion dollar pet food
market. It is unregulated. Very interesting reading. This book was
mentioned on the FML either last year or the year before. Have not seen it
mentioned since. I thought it is a good time to bring it up again with the
IAMS debate. [...]42_2Apr200011:17:

[log in to unmask], 2 Apr 2000 21:29:31 -0400557_- Weasels and workers alike it was a very busy week at Ferret Wise with
veterinary appointments and pre screening appts with the kids- ( never mind
the everyday bliss of cleaning & playing!)
Our oldest gal Belle has crossed to rainbow bridge. We will miss her she
survived a full 2 years after her right adrenalectomy and left at age 7
years . In the end, she was lost to multiple tumors of the spleen, liver,
kidneys we know she is no longer in pain. She rests on Ferret hill so she
can look down on the shelter kids. Our [...]41_2Apr200021:29:
